I thought Kenyans and Ethiopians had superior running genes, altitude natives you know.
Asker Jeukendrup says so.

Re: Re:
I'm not an anti-doping expert but I would be testing the hell out of the Kenyans now, even thinking of banning them like the Russians. This screams that its systematic as well considering the coaches are taking the tests for the athletes

Re: Re:
Presumably the athlete whose sample it was supposed to be will be sent home for trying to evade a test as well?

Re: Re:
I am not sure that the IOC and WADA will want to do that now. They'll probably wait until after the olympics to do a extensive inquiry. They've already been overwhelmed. To do something now, would look even more crazy. Can you imagine the IOC sending an entire delegation home, DURING the games? I know it's been done in cycling, but I can't remember it being done at the Olympics.

Public School to University Rowing Club. They may as well grow them in a vat.

Re: Re:
We can deduce from that that hanging around universities for as long as possible is a sensible move for elite women athletes in sports where there isn't much money knocking around. And it also gives the brighter among them a ready made post-sport career.
Grainger, by the way, bucks the rowing trend a bit in that she wasn't privately schooled.

Re: Re:
Agreed. I don't know much about, if anything, regarding these athletes educational background, apart from I hear or read in the news, but I think getting a higher education at whichever University (assuming you can manage well to study, go to class while training and racing) is a really good idea.

Tell you what, if Phelps is indeed clean, his stamina must be the best ever, because he is able to go from event to event like it's nothing.
The entire swimming competition has been completely and utterly overwhelmed by the American dominance. Look at the medal table for swimming. It's absolutely comical.

My favorite alien moment of the games so far was in this afternoon's semifinal heat with Katie Ledecky. In the closing two laps of the race Dan Hicks and Rowdy Gaines are gushing with glee at how Katie is just cruising, not even bothering to waste energy kicking. Despite this conservative effort Katie wins the heat with a several second gap over second place and sets a new Olympic record. Listening to these guys is embarrassing. Tomorrow nights final ought to be entertaining, another World Record is on the way.
